Pesto Chicken

This recipe is more a preparation than a recipe. 
It involves a quick and easy marinade of store bought or fresh made pesto
to liven up boneless, skinless chicken.
The pesto gives a surprising amount of nutty, slightly salty flavor to 
the chicken without adding unnecessary fat.

Ingredients:

boneless, skinless chicken
pesto


Wash and pat dry desired number of pieces of boneless, skinless chicken
 - either white or dark meat.

Place pieces in a mixing bowl and add one or two tablespoons pesto.
Pesto can be any favorite store bought or fresh made.
I usually use a pesto of basil and pine nuts.

Mix chicken to coat thoroughly. Add more pesto if necessary,
but remember that a little goes a long way.

Chicken can be grilled, baked or browned in a sautee pan.

Note: the pesto already has oil in it, so no additional oil
should be necessary for cooking.
